Welcome to SEN NAV

Navigating the education, NHS and social care system can be difficult for parents of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

The terminology used to talk about SEND is hard to understand, so finding the right words to describe the exact needs of your child or put a written case forward to a school, local authority or doctor can be really difficult.

Thankfully, SEN NAV is here to help with a range of unique visual resources designed specifically to make it easier for you to identify and explain the needs of your SEND child, in plain-English.

All of the resources have been created by a SEND training consultant, who is also a parent to a child with Special Needs, following her experience of seeing many parents struggle with securing the right support for their child.

Resources for Parents

These cleverly illustrated flash-cards will help you understand SEND jargon across the breadth of Special needs and disabilities and explain or link behaviours/ conditions more easily. An invaluable tool if you are trying to secure professional support.

Resources for Professionals

Hard-wearing versions of the illustrated ‘needs’ flash-cards. Plus handy A3 Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) planners designed to help professionals support parents and map a child’s needs against the SEND Code of Practice.
